 fourth. Hind wings silvery white, tinged with gray. Al. ex. j£ inch.

H. apicipunctella. N. sp. 



I fear this specific name may at times prove mis-leading, as the apical 

 black spot is small and may not be observed if the specimen is at all 

 denuded. 



Silvery white, the hind wings silvery, tinged with gray. There is a 

 distinct black spot on the middle of the anterior margin of the thorax, 

 one on each side of the tip of the thorax, and another on each side before 

 the tip, and one on the patagia. On the forewings there is a black spot 

 at the base, above but near to the fold, a little further back is one on the 

 dorsal margin ; above the fold and nearly opposite the second of these 

 wing spots, are two others, one a little further back and nearer to the fold 

 than the other. Further back on the fold is another, near to which, above 

 the fold and about the middle of the wing, is another circular spot, larger 

 than the others. Behind this spot are four others, forming a trapezoidal 

 figure, and behind these, in the apical part of the wing, is a longitudinal 

 spot or dash ; there is also a similar dash on the dorsal margin, just before 

 the ciliae. There are six black spots at the base of the dorsal ciliae, and 

 five narrow black dashes along the base of the costal ciliae, and there is a 

 black spot at the tip of the ciliae behind the row at their base. Al. ex. H 

 inch. Basque Co. 



GRACILARIA. 



I observe that by some error this generic name is in some preceding- 

 papers spelled with two l's. Gracilaria is the correct form of the word, 

 and the same form is in use for a genus of Marine Algae. I am not able 

 to state which genus the name was first applied to. I will add here that 

 the name of one of Dr. Clemens' genera Aspidisca is pre-occupied among 

 the Infusoria (Aspidisca, Ehreubcrg.) 



G. Belfragclla. N. sp. 



Antennae purple brown; face and palpi white ; the second joint of 

 the maxillary palpi and the third joint of the labial pair tipped beneath 

 with brown. Thorax and wings purple brown. The costal triangle is 

 very pale lemon yellow, and reaches the fold, where it is somewhat trim-
